4. When I'm not right I have the opposite problem. I don't eat and I lose weight.

Maybe it's not appropriate to post my own eating disorder here, but then again, maybe it's two sides of the same coin.

I've got to watch what I eat and I've got to be a little obsessive about it. Otherwise I fade away.

Whenever my mind is not right I simply don't care about food. Sometimes bad things happen, I lose weight and experience heart arrhythmias.

Good eating habits are habits I've had to very deliberately reinforce.

My diet this day probably sucks -- some cacahuate quemado (unsalted pan roasted peanuts), raw broccoli, and oranges, and that my be all I eat for the rest of the day. But I try to make a habit of eating nourishing things.

Better than Pringles and beer, right?
